Bulin 47 video: real or AI?
The original Bulin 47 video is real: an unplanned freestyle that Kevin Wai filmed on his phone in Madrid on 2 October 2026. The versions starring Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé and other famous faces are AI edits made from that footage, which began spreading around 6 October. None of those players took part.

All postsHow the AI versions are made
Video models can take a clip as a motion reference and a photo as the new identity. They redraw the performer frame by frame, keeping the camera move, the timing and the gestures, and give the person the face, hair and clothes from the photo. Most edits then keep the clip's original sound.
That is why the edits look so convincing at first: the movement is real, only the person is new. It is also why the same small mistakes keep showing up.
Five signs a Bulin 47 video is an AI edit
- 1
Leftovers from the original: a gold watch, arm tattoos or the pink mesh shirt showing up on someone who should not have them.
- 2
The mouth: in the real clip Bulin 47 raps for the first seconds of the famous part, then goes quiet and laughs while Kevin sings. Edits often keep the new face talking through that part, or freeze it.
- 3
Hands and fingers that smear or merge on the quick gestures.
- 4
Faces in the crowd that wobble or melt for a frame.
- 5
Captions such as "AI", "IA" or a tool name, and a famous person who would never be outside that restaurant at 3 a.m.
Why so many footballers?
The clip has one performer, one fixed camera move and a beat that works with any face, so the joke lands with whoever is in the shirt. Football stars are instantly recognisable, which made them the first faces people tried. Cartoon animals, anime characters and ordinary fans followed.
Making a realistic video of a real, famous person without their consent can break platform rules and image-rights laws. TikTok asks creators to label realistic AI content. Our studio does not accept photos of public figures: it is made for your own face, or for an adult who said yes.

Questions people ask
Did Messi really do the Bulin 47 dance?
No. The Messi and Ronaldo versions are AI edits of Kevin Wai's clip. The real performer is Bulin 47.
Which app makes the Bulin 47 video with Messi?
Creators used several AI video tools and rarely say which. Bulin47Video makes the same freestyle from your own photo, not from a celebrity's.
Is "Dame Hombro" an AI song?
No. It is a studio song by Bulin 47 and Kevin Wai with an official video released on 8 October 2026.
Can AI copy my voice into the video?
Not here. Your recast keeps the clip's original audio. The mouth follows Bulin 47's mouth, not a new voice.
